Scary Good Beauty Looks for Halloween

October can be one of the busiest months of the year; jam-packed with pumpkin patch visits, haunted houses, and … Halloween celebrations. While these gatherings tend to be a blast, finding a costume or a way to be festive can often be a last-minute challenge. Luckily, we have cast a spell and conjured up some sinfully brilliant ideas for a memorable Halloween makeup look!

Witchy Wonder

Having some toil and trouble with evoking a glamorous, simple, and spooky look? Doing some witch-inspired halloween makeup lends itself to show off some easy makeup skills that can allow any last-minute costume to pop! This look is simple, yet so effective for showing some festivity this spooky season or even to wow your friends at a Halloween get-together!

Our witchy color palette was largely inspired by purple to create this mysterious glowing look that is entirely in character. However, you could recreate this composition at home with any color to mesh with your own witch glam or emulate a variety of Halloween characters! All you need is a daring colored shadow to compliment your costume, a bold lip to match, and… voila! This versatile composition is a perfect choice to add some seasonal glamour to any look.

Devil or Angel?Why Not Both?!

Undecided about your Halloween inspo? In case you have a devil and angel propped on your metaphorical shoulders arguing about the perfect seasonal look, listen to both! The Halloween season has seen decades of variations on the classic angel and devil costumes. While it’s easy to get repetitive with these symbols, it’s also just as easy to add your own twist and get creative! First, we challenged the question of which of these characters to be by innovating a makeup look by incorporating icons from both. This juxtaposing halloween makeup calls for contrasting eyeshadow and a touch of any sort of face paint or eyeliner to draw some recognizable symbols!

While this killer makeup may appear above a simple skill set, you have the freedom to incorporate any sort of symbol using this formula. Freedom to go as simple or bold as you please allows you to wear this look as a festive accent or as a centerpiece to a costume!

Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!

So nice, you have to say it thrice! Everybody’s favorite demon trickster has come back into pop culture’s eye this year with the release of the Broadway musical and resurgence of the cult classic movie. This revival of popularity is a perfect opportunity to do your own twist on a favorite character.

The Beetlejuice look is a tad more costume oriented than the others but can be glammed up to fit any event. We used a blend of cool-toned highlights and eyeshadows that show the essence of Beetlejuice. As long as you stick to the color palette of the iconic character, all it takes is some greens, purples, and creative liberty to make that striped blazer shine!
